Jules Kounde on Barcelona’s plan for PSG’s Kylian Mbappe: ‘We have to stop him collectively’

Barcelona’s chances of reaching their first Champions League semi-final in five years are almost entirely dependant on their ability to contain Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe for the 180 minutes of their quarter-final tie, and there has been plenty of talk about coach Xavi Hernández’s strategy to deal with the French superstar.
